In reporting the release Of the detective,

that the money for the Eay ment Of the costs

by Chautib iand'a female friends The
reporter had good reason to suspect
that to I've the case ut the time Mr.. Lord,
however, states that the money advanced by
him to pay the OF pense was furnished by .
well known business firm OF the city, and
that none of the gay detective's former ssso
ciates had any hand In his release.
1.-THE detertive's story and other reports
are true, Chautibrand II even Q worse
scoundrel than he has had credit tor being.
During his confinement the prisoner said he
wss not married to the lady whom he had
lived with al Mannheim, Lancaster county, al.
everyone in that vicinity supposed that they

TO be hts wife aud repeatedly declared that II
he could be released he would go At once and

manner he worked upon symT@thies oi

he could consistently towards procuring the
prisoners release, and to help him out oi

Contractor Malone, who Is building Market

hand in New York city, WAS here last week
looking for lsborera i want Italians" he
said, "snd ! came to Philadelphia to get
them because they are better workers. The
Italians, when they get tn Philadelphia, gen.
orally stay here some years, and la that time
they learn good deal Of English and . good
deal about our work, while the Italians ol
New York are generally fresh from Castle
Garden. They don't stay in that city long si

Mr.. Lawrence Dunn, q well known young

at the quaint and curious sights of our historic

Southerner who believes thoroughly In the

memories deeper than plummet can sound.
An lNTELLIGENCER representative asked
him how President Cleveland was regarded
in his section of the country, to which Mr..
Dunn replied
"The president Is very popular with us,
and no one mentions any one else for the
presidential succession. In turn, let me ask
how tho people up here would like q

that post Henry W. Grady, OF the Atlantis

Senators Colquitt and Brown and Governor
Gordon. You must be baptized by one of these
three before you may aspire to official place
in our state. This has been resented by
the young Democracy of the state, and
Grady has been very much hsmpered by
his close Utilization with the ring alluded to-
